Proxmox inventory plugin: Groups are empty if VMs have more than 1 tag

[zenhighzer]

Summary

When I try to build my ansible inventory via. proxmox inventory plugin the groups are empty when a machine has more than 1 tag:

my proxmox-machines and their tags i.e.:

lb01: loadbalancer, stack lb02: loadbalaner, stack k8scp1: controlplane, stack k8scp2: controlplane, stack k8scp3: controlplane, stack k8swk1: worker, stack k8swk2: worker, stack k8swk2: worker, stack

My Inventory-Plugin looks like:

plugin: community.general.proxmox
url: https://proxmox:8006/
user: myuser@pam
password: secretpassword
validate_certs: false
want_facts: true
groups:
  k8s_loadbalancer: "'loadbalancer' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)"
  k8s_controlplane: "'controlplane' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)"
  k8s_worker: "'worker' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)" 
  k8s_stack: "'stack' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)"
want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host: true

• If I remove the tag "stack" from all machines then inventory plugin creates the right groups for: -- k8s_loadbalancer -- k8s_controlplane and -- k8s_worker...

• If I add a second tag "stack" to all machines, all groups are just empty

OS / Environment

Ansible running on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Proxmox Version: 8.1.4

Steps to Reproduce

1) giving machines more then 1 tag and then run inventory -> result: empty groups
2) giving machines only one tag -> result: groups with machines created successfully

plugin: community.general.proxmox
url: https://proxmox:8006/
user: myuser@pam
password: secretpassword
validate_certs: false
want_facts: true
groups:
  k8s_loadbalancer: "'loadbalancer' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)"
  k8s_controlplane: "'controlplane' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)"
  k8s_worker: "'worker' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)" 
  k8s_stack: "'stack' in (proxmox_tags_parsed|list)"
want_proxmox_nodes_ansible_host: true

Expected Results

I expect to have four groups:

k8s_loadbalancer: lb01, lb02 k8s_controlplane: k8scp1, k8scp2, k8scp3 k8s_worker: k8swk1, k8swk2, k8swk3 k8s_stack: lb01, lb02, k8scp1, k8scp2, k8scp3, k8swk1, k8swk2, k8swk3

Actual Results

$ansible-inventory -i my.proxmox.yml --list 

....  redacted , .... 

         "k8scp1": {
        "proxmox_tags": "controlplane;stack",
                "proxmox_tags_parsed": [
                    "controlplane;stack"
                ],
